GETTING EGGS WHEN PRICES
ARE HIGH.

We know we'll that in all branches
Of business there arc those who take
advantage of opportunities and seek
the benefit of a rise in prices. In
selling eggs or procuring them, the
matter of cost must be considered
only in relation to the price. We can
better afford to incur an expense of
two dollars in place of one, when
the chances for profit are twice as
great, than not to derive any profit
at all. When eggs r well up in
price, commanding over thirty cents
per dozen, we may: by feeding pro-
perIy, secur them. We can point
to a poultryman who paid II cents
a pound for beef for his hens when
eggs were forty cents a dozen, and
it paid him we'll. Just here, we will
say to those who complain of re-
ceiving no eggs, to change the food
by giving a goodIy supply of meat
once a day. A pound will supply
twelve fowls, and, if they are kept
warm, they will nearly always lay
under a meat diet. A better plan
is to a chop a pound Of meat, and
add it to a quart Of beans CATER the
beans have been cooked soft), and
thicken the with ground oats
till it is Of the consistency Of dough.
Feed this once a day to twenty-five
hens, with whole grain at night, and
the chances are they will lay in the
coolest weather.-Breeders' Journal.

WHATS IN" AN EGG.

Hen Man in Rural New Yorker
says:-"The season for setting hens
is coming. The question as to the
shape of eggs for setting may we'll
be considered. Does it pay to pick
out eggs Of good shape, to avoid
pointed eggs and those with the
'bigness' all at one end?
Breeders differ in their opinions
as to this point. Some aim to pick
out only the oval eggs, rejecting a
pointed egg wen from their a
best hens. Others say they would
use any egg from a good hen, no
matter what it's shape may be. Still
others say that a hen in. perfect
health always lays a well shaped
egg; that a pointed or poorly shaped
egg is a sign that the hen is too fat
or otherwise out of condition.
Who have noticed anything re-
garding this?
My own observation leads me to
believe that last named idea is the
correct one. I wish others would
give their experience. If there be
anything in the selection of eggs it
will pay to take pains with it,

New York for the year 1886, were

PLAN O A SILO,

[ am afraid that the expensive
ways described will keep our farm
ers from building silos, SO [ will tell
you that a silo can be made easily
and cheaply that will answer every
purpose. To build a 125-ton silo,
take a bay in your barn, build a
wooden box 16x16 and Is feet high
from 2x8 joists and two layers of
drop siding, with a layer Of tarred
paper between them. Tie the cor
ners strongly and brace well, for the
green cut corn is heavy, and it is
ready for use. Cut your cornstalks
IN inch lengths and fill gradually,
putting in one-fifth each day until
hlled, then cover. The important
thing is to keep the air absolutely
away from the silage. If you can
accomplish this in any way, how
ever cheaply, it will keep. A farm
er down in Illinois scooped out a
mole in a gravel bank, filed it with
green cut corn, covered so no mois-
ture could get in and his silage kept
as we'll as that Of his neighbor who
had 81 800 silo.-Ihe Farmer.

and the unprecedented demand for
them from all parts Of the country
testlfies stronger than words to their
great popularity; and the universal
testimony of thousands of families,

"Home Comfort" is that they are

a fair trial, we pronounce them a
grand and in every respect

much the cheapest. In addition to
their good baking qualities and econ

come from different purpose than
any one else. / come to pay debt
which my grandfather owed to your
grandfathers, and have the document
which shows the debt II will read like
an anti-coercion speech, yet II Is most
solemn document, more than 100 years
old. am here to pay the debt in part
which our revolutionary fathers owed to
Ireland. BY the courtesy of Judge Had
ley, | am put in possession of a copy OF
the first report OF the Continental Con-
gress In ITO. Here General Butler read
the document, which was an address to
the people of Ireland, reciting the OPP
preston by England of the American
colonies. There Is petition of the
united colonies to the Irishmen to come
over here, and the descendants Of the So
invited, some of them, are here
before me. On occasions like this our
forefathers looked forward almost with
prophecy Thousands of Irishmen have
become united with us In ties of consan-
guinity and affection.
now come to that which shows why
we should stand by Ireland as we would
stand by bencfactors. Here the general
read further from the document. Did
not tell you / should read something that
seemed almost written for this coercion
meeting? Who wrote that? John Jay,
chief justice of the United States. And
let me hear no little mutton-chop poll
tician say that we have no right TO sym
patbize with Ireland. When the war
came Ireland sent us Montgomery and
other compatriots, who fought in the
Revolution. If war should come, let US
pay that class Of debts first. God forbid
that 1t should, but II it does come may
God defend the right Emigrants have
kept coming from Ireland until one-half
of Ireland Is in America, and | may give
feeble notice here that II any one fights
one-half of Ireland they will have to
fight the other half. Blood is thicker than
water Don't let me be understood as
wishing for war. But coercion of nations
must end in war All history shows that
such acts always end in war, the great
arbiter. One wrong succeeds another
until the appeal to arms is all that is left,
and | think that man had better be
killed than to have his brethren starve to
death.
can't say that the jubilee win come
soon, but the patriotic labors of
those now working for the cause will be
rewarded II may not come in my day,
for my days are passing away, but it will
come in the day of many that | see be-
